The Parable of the Reluctant Messiah

Once there lived a small village of little creatures, along the bottom of a great crystal river. They all clung to the rocks and shrubs at the bottom of the river, for this was all they knew.
Then one day, one of the creatures became tired of clinging. He said he would die of boredom if he continued to hold on forever. He trusted that he current would take him where he needed to be, even if he couldn’t see it.
This parable teaches us that we are the ones who hold ourselves back. We can experience true freedom within ourselves if we are willing to let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore. When we release old patterns of thought, emotions, and ways of being, we become our own savior and change the course of our life.
